There’s something badly broken at Wolves - and the sale of star man Ruben Neves certainly isn’t going to fix it.
Yes, the sale of the supremely talented Portugal international could net the club around £50million, give or take. But the departure of a player at the peak of his powers sends another alarming message to the already worried Molineux faithful.
Any Neves cash won’t paper over the seismic cracks reverberating around the club at the moment. All the warning signs are there - and sometimes you feel it’s only the fans who can see it. Bruno Lage’s side blew a massive chance to break into the top six last season.
